This time last year, we brought you a report that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney (The Descendants) were locked in for the lead roles in Gravity, written by Alfonso Cuarón and his son, Jonas Cuarón. Since then, we’ve heard very little about the film.

Now, the sneaky folks over at JoBlo have managed to get their hands on what seems to be the official synopsis for the film. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.

Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.

But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Gravity is slated to hit theaters in 2013.
